[Flashcoders] target object under mouse-AS3 syntax?

2007-12-17 Thread dave matthews 

hi all,
 
  What is the correct syntax to target any named symbol on stage, please?
  
  Looking for the event target or something like that - just can't find the 
exact syntax to look it up in Moock's book!
 
  The app has many named symbols on stage, trying to use same 'widget' to 
drag/resize/rotate/etc.  It's painful to code each individually with listeners 
etc.  or dive into each symbol and pasting the frame with the code and buttons 
inside each... i'm seeing a pattern here and wish to use the same 'widget' to 
act on any symbol.
  
  Read about targeting the 'victim' of a mouse over for example:
 
pseudo code:
  addEventListener.target.eventTarget(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, 
set_targetname_to_var);
 
 
thanks,

Perhaps...
event.currentTarget;

private function mouseOverHandler(event:Event) {
trace(event.currentTarget);
}
